The tiny feet of a barefoot child resting on a colorful play mat in a child-friendly space are visible under a red blanket. The child’s feet are covered in dirt. Some children and families crossing the U.S. border have walked for several days and have not bathed, are hungry, sick and exhausted. Save the Children is running child-friendly spaces and children’s play areas at transit shelters in New Mexico for children once they leave detention facilities.
